If you are in Richmond you must visit St John's. This is the famous place of Patrick Henry's famous speech - "Give me liberty or give me death! I take all my visitors on this tour. Just browsing through the graves is a fascinating exploration, Visit! More

Must see just to stand on the land that Jefferson, Patrick Henry, etc. stood on. I did not take the tour as the church has changed so much there is not much of the original left but do ask the people in the gift shop. They are very friendly and will point out the original building. More
